Well, you get EXP from building stuff and killing stuff. I tried cheesing 6 minute games, got around 5k exp a game. Of course there's the 10k "First Win of the Day" Bonus but that only applies once. I haven't experimented too much but the way I grind is playing 3 base, 20-25 minute games vs. AI, of ~50k exp each game (roughly 25k from production, 25k from destruction).

Using my strat, you'll need approximately ~60 hours real time to get to level 30 for one race. Each level requires 20k exp more than the level before (lvl. 1 -> lvl. 2 requires 5000, 2 -> 3 needs 25000, 3 -> 4 needs 45000, etc. etc.). This puts you at roughly 9 million exp for level 30. 9000000 exp divided by 50k a game = 180 games. 180 games divided by 3 games an hour puts you at roughly 60 hours.

You can always go custom FFA with your friends and have your friends spoonfeed units to your deathball (~180 supply) while you spoonfeed them with the remaining 20 supply (you get exp for building, remember?).


*Might have done my math wrong, but my strategy is still going to be around 50-60 hrs.

EDIT: It's ~8.2m exp, so about 54 hours. Probably less since 1st win of the day bonus, but that's still around 50 hours. And you might want to spend some of the games messing around or actually laddering so you're not guaranteed ~50k exp a game.
